Overview

Disney's Swan Hotel is famed for its modern design and touch of elegance - the Florida hotel was designed by award-winning architect Michael Graves. Allow yourself to be transported to an island atmosphere - you can relax on the three-acre tropical landscape, complete with rock caves and cascading waterfalls, enjoy its white beach, whirl pools and waterslide.

Take a break from the kids and send them to the fully supervised Camp Dolphin, leaving you time for pampering at the Balinese-themed Mandara Spa ? choose from a variety of treatments or the full-service hair and nail salon. Alternatively you could sip a cocktail or sample a gourmet snack from the Cabana Bar and Beach Club where the music keeps the scene lively.

Need to get some all-important business done at the Walt Disney World Swan during your break? There are also conference facilities with 84 meeting rooms for catching up on work, or you can gather for an informal meeting within the numerous banquet rooms.

Neighborhood

Incorporating all the magical soul of Walt Disney World, the Swan Hotel is located within walking distance of theme parks like Epcot. It is also a short shuttle ride away from other Disney parks and the Downtown Disney area filled with entertainment, shopping and dining options. The Orlando International Airport is only a 20-minute drive away.

If nature's your thing make time to visit Disney's Animal Kingdom – you'll be able to see over 1,700 animals from 250 species, there's the opportunity to go on safari, or even see a Broadway-style play.

Hints and tips

The Swan Hotel is actually a Disney "sister" property. It is a Starwood Resort, but shares the same "Extra Magic Hours" given at other Disney-owned properties. To obtain a view of the nightly Epcot firework display, you should book an Epcot Fireworks View Room with balcony.

Policies and Fees

The hotel's rooms do not have microwave oven. Visitors who need to reheat their food can contact the hotel’s room service, and they will assist you for a nominal fee. For guests who have special needs requiring a microwave, please contact the front desk.

Disney Marathon weekend

I don't know whether it's because I'm an O... customer or if they just gave me the worst room in the hotel by accident. I had no view out my window other then the roof of the convention hall way. The room was at the end of a long hall and it must have been next to a service elevator because there was clanking going on at all times. I barely had enough hot water for a shower the last day I was there. The $12.00 per day amenity fee did me no good. The only thing I wanted or needed was the WiFi and most time I was not able to connect to it. The staff did refund me 3 days of the fee. The location was perfect and the staff was very friendly and efficient.

Great hotel and location

Location was fantastic. Free boat rides to Hollywood Studios and Epcot and free bus rides to the Magic Kingdom (boats and buses every 20 mins). Also within walking distance from the Boardwalk and Epcot.

Swan is Super

The Swan was terrific. We knew it was in walking distance of Epcot, which was the primary factor in choosing this hotel. But, we didn't know that the property was so beautiful. The pools, hot tub, gym, "swan" paddle boats, and excellent restaurants made for a perfect location to take a break from all the Disney parks. Highly recommend this hotel. The ability to walk to Epcot eliminated waiting for a bus. However, the bus to all the parks is located right outside the hotel door. In addition, you can take a boat to Epcot, Downtown Disney, and MGM, if you just want to cruise it. Great time!

Swan Hotel

I was disappointed that when I arrived at the hotel, I was unable to check in for quite some time. I understood that check-in for the hotel was at 3:00 (and I arrived at around 12:30) but most hotels are able to accommodate the guest or allow them to upgrade/downgrade to an available room. Even when 3:00 came, I did not get to check into my room under after 4:00. I had event tickets and the late check in disrupted my schedule.
Although the hotel advertised that its transportation to Disney ran every 15-20 minutes, it was more like every 40 minutes. As the Swan is not a Disney resort hotel, the transportation was less predictable. Even at the Disney park locations, other guest noticed that the transport buses for surrounding hotels came and went while we waited for the transport for our hotel.

In Hotel

The hotel has restaurants nearby (at the connecting Dolphin hotel) or within the hotel building. In the event a guest wants to take a day away from the hustle and bustle of Disney, the hotel as a mini-beach, pool, paddle boats, volley ball court, etc. to provide a relaxing atmosphere

Great Location for Disneyworld Vacation

Located within walking distance to Epcot. Great restaurants inside the hotel. Food costs are on par with the other Disney World attractions. Part of the Westin chain of hotels.

Swan Birthday

I enjoyed the transportation to the parks, especially the boat rides, were often relaxing and not full. Quick and arrive right at the park, especially EPCOT. One of the restaurants was closed and the one I ate in wasn't worth it at all. Nice hotel, sweet staff. However, I called the concierge while I was at the park and was on hold for about 20 minutes.

Fantastic

The Swan was a beautiful place to spend our Disney vacation. The staff was warm and friendly and were always on hand to satisy our needs. The location was ideal and allowed us to gain access to all the parks via bus or water taxi. Overall a pleasant stay. The rooms were clean the beds were comfortable and the property was very nicely kept. Great value, great hotel. We will certainly be back.
